2. Can some words signify more than one mealtime?
Yes, because I use the words "lunch" and "snack" to mean to eat around noon. I also use the words "supper" and "dinner" to describe what I want to eat at night time.
3. Are there some mealtimes that only one name?
Yes, breakfast. I know no other name for breakfast.
4. Do some of the names of meals suggest formal or informal?
I feel like "dinner" is more formal than "supper." Also, "lunch" is more formal than "snack."
5. Who makes the decisions regarding the names of mealtimes?
When I was younger I always heard my parents use these mealtime names, so I continue to use them. I feel like people use them based on where they are from and how their families use them.
